TRENTON – State Sen. Steve Sweeney (D-3), of West Deptford, told State Street Wire today that he is pulling a moratorium for the State Health Benefits Plan from his public employee health care reform bill, S2718.
The move comes a week after the New York Times detailed Sweeney’s close relationship with South Jersey powerbroker George Norcross, and the benefit to Norcross’s insurance brokerage firm from the hold on entrants into the state health care plan.
